Features to know about

Take More With You: Tow, Haul, or Mount What You Need

This Class III hitch receiver gives you the flexibility to tow or carry gear without needing a bigger vehicle. With a 2" x 2" receiver opening, it’s ready for most bike racks, cargo carriers, ball mounts, or small trailers. It’s rated for a maximum gross trailer weight of 6,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 600 lbs, whether you’re towing a small camper or hauling equipment. The strength comes from precision, robotic welding that keeps everything lined up and solid.

Easy Bolt-On Install: No Welding or Drilling

You don’t need a lift or special tools to get this hitch mounted. It bolts directly to your vehicle’s frame using the included hardware and installation instructions. The design lines up with factory mounting points, so you can get it installed in your own driveway with basic tools. No need for welding, which saves time and keeps things simple if you’re tackling the job yourself.

Hidden Strength and Clean Look: Concealed Cross Tube with Matte Black Finish

The concealed cross tube keeps most of the hitch tucked out of sight for a clean look under the bumper while maintaining ground clearance. The matte black powder coat finish over a protective base coat is durable, corrosion resistant, and hides scuffs and road grime better than glossy finishes. The round-tube design adds a rugged style that blends in while standing up to everyday use.

Built to Last: Fully Welded Steel with Lifetime Support

This hitch is fully welded from steel for long-term strength and reliability. It’s designed to handle weight distribution setups up to 6,000 lbs GTW and 600 lbs TW. The finish stands up to road salt and weather, so you can keep towing season after season without worrying about rust or wear.

Easy as possible from start to finish. It was easy to research and select the correct receiver online. Then the Youtube video providing instructions was spot on. installation took approx 2.5 hrs only because I was super cautious removing the bumper. And it looks wonderful!



by:

The reason I bought from you was because of your installation video. The video for the hitch and the electical wiring was the key for me. The hitch works great. Hope you continue with videos to help us DIY'ers.

Love hearing that, and that’s a great match for your X5. IT LOOKS GREAT! Those installs can look a little intimidating at first, so it’s awesome the video helped you get it done. And once it’s on there, that hitch is seriously solid. What are you planning to use it for on your BMW?

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring For A 2015 BMW x5M
    Hi Matthew, For a 2015 BMW x5M you would need the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e84AR. This is going to replace the bumper beam and just have the receiver tube sticking out for a cleaner look. The installation is a bit involved because removing the fascia on a BMW requires a lot of care but is doable if you're a DIY kind of person. If not, you can use our installer locator (linked below) to find a shop near you to complete the installation. If you're planning on towing a trailer...

  • Looking For Trailer Hitch For A 2015 BMW X5 40i M Sport
    Hello Darin, thanks for reaching out. We do indeed offer a trailer hitch for your 2015 BMW X5 40i M Sport model. What I recommend is the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e84AR. This has a 2" receiver and is rated for up to 6,000 lbs towing or 600 lbs tongue weight. It is important to note that the bumper will need to be full removed during installation. It will then need to be trimmed prior to being reattached. If your vehicle has OEM tow hooks, then will no longer be usable. I have included...

  • What Trailer Hitch Will Fit The 2017 BMW X5 With M Sport Package?
    Hello Kevin, thanks for reaching out. As far as the 2017 BMW X5, fitment really depends on what hitch you are looking at. For example, the Curt Class 3 Hitch # 13077 fill fit both the M models and non-M models. So in other words, it fits all models of the 2017 X5. Then on the other hand we have the Draw-Tite # 75600 you were looking at. This will NOT fit models with the M Sport package. It is for non-M models only. My recommendation for your 2017 BMW X5 M Sport is the etrailer Class...

  • Parts Needed to Get a Hitch and 7-way Installed in a 2012 BMW X5 with No Factory Tow Package
    Since your 2012 BMW X5 currently has nothing, it sounds like you do not have a tow package. Given the lack of tow package and the year/make/model of your vehicle, there are not going to be any plug-n-play options available. I will list out the parts needed below, but if you are hesitant about the installation process, I highly recommend having the installation done by a certified technician.

  • Will Fascia Trimming Be Required to Install etrailer Brand e84AR Class III Hitch on 2011 BMW X5
    Per the linked instructions, the etrailer brand # e84AR Class III hitch will require trimming a 4 x 2-1/4 inch piece of the bumper fascia away. I've linked to an install video for the # 13077 hitch which installs in the same manner.

  • 2018 BMW X5 Trailer Hitch Recommendation
    The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75492 you initially purchased fits a 2000 - 2006 BMW X5 so we need to get you a new trailer hitch for your 2018 model. For that I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e84AR because it has the hidden crosstube (like the other hitch options) but it's the only hitch for your vehicle that comes with a matte black finish. This finish blends in with any black trim on your vehicle better than a glossy finish, and it's great at hiding...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2015 BMW X5 with M Sport Package
    Thank you for all of the details! I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e84AR for your 2015 BMW X5 with the M Sport Package. This has been confirmed to fit that specific package and I like the matte black finish because it's hidden better and better protected against the elements than the glossy black finish that we find on the other hitch receivers. The max tow weight rating for this hitch is 6,000 lbs but you'll need to double check in your owner's manual how much...

  • Will The EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch 306-X7265 Fit A 2011 BMW X5 xDrive35d?
    Hey Chris, thanks for reaching out. We do have hitches that are a confirmed fit for your 2011 BMW X5, but the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch # 306-X7265 is not one of them. You are correct that your 2011 X5 xDrive35d and the 2013 X5 are both E70 chassis vehicles, and I am not seeing a specific bumper or frame difference that clearly explains the fitment cutoff for # 306-X7265. That said, I am going to stick with the manufacturer-confirmed fitment. EcoHitch specifically confirms # 306-X7265...

  • Tow Package For A 3000 lb Boat Trailer On A 2015 BMW X5 28s
    For your 2015 BMW X5 28s I recommend the etrailer class 3 round tube trailer hitch # e84AR. I like our etrailer hitches a lot. They are virtually identical to the Curt brand hitches, but are priced slightly lower. Who doesn't like saving money? The etrailer brand hitches have a matte black coating while the curt brand is a glossy black finish. This hitch is rated for 6000 lbs towing and 600 tongue weight and will be plenty strong for your 3000 lb boat and trailer. With that I also recommend...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2017 BMW X5
    The best class III hitch for your 2017 BMW X5 is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e84AR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your BMW with included hardware. It fits all models of the 2017 X5 including the M Performance and Sport Package. There should be a button that turns off the detection system so you don't have that annoying alarm going off. I recommend checking your manual for towing procedures. Most newer vehicles go into quite a bit of detail on what all you need to do plus...

    The weight capacity of the hitch. The class IV Draw-Tite item # 75600 fits some model BMW's that has a higher towing capacity then your 2007 X5. The class III hitch's have a lower capacity but both still have a 2" receiver. I looked online and your 2007 BMW X5 tops out at 6,000 lbs towing capacity. I recommend using the etrailer Hitch item # e84AR which is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 6,000 lbs towing capacity and installs in an identical way to the Draw-Tite item #...

  • Does the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit 2017 BMW X5 With M Performance Package
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e84AR is confirmed to fit your 2017 BMW X5 M. The designation can be confusing sometimes since it is listed as fitting the M and also everything else that is not the M. This Class III hitch has a 2" receiver with a 6,000 lb gross trailer weight and 600 lb max tongue weight. If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the # 119250KIT for your wiring needs. This will provide you with a 4-way to power your trailer's signal lights. For a ball mount,...
